1. As you come in…
Grab your class notebook and your copy of Night, then prepare for a Reading Comp Quiz (ch 4-7). When finished, read ch 8-9 of Night.

2. Write Now
“I knew I had to testify about my past but I did not know how to go about it…I felt incapable and perhaps unworthy of fulfilling my task as survivor and messenger. I had things to say but not the words to say them Words seemed weak and pale And yet it was necessary to continue.” -Elie Wiesel How fitting did you find the words, imagery, and overall plotting of Night? Does the author succeed in his self- described goals as a “survivor and messenger” who must “testify” to his readers? How so?
-Why did he write it?
-Why did he end it the way that he did?
-Is it worth reading (is it worth having an emotional story at the end of the year?)

3. 6 Million+ Project Jews: 6 million Soviet civilians: 6.7 million
Soviet prisons of war: 3 million (50,000 of which were Jewish soldiers)
Non-Jewish Polish civilians: 1.8 million

4. 6 Million+ Project Serb civilians: 312,000
People with disabilities: 250,000
Roma Gypsies: 220,000

5. over the course of 12 years,
6 Million+ Project
18,285,400
total deaths
over the course of 12 years,
or 4,175 deaths per day.

6. 6 Million+ Project Holocaust = 18,285,400 deaths
This is how many individuals perished total over the course of the Holocaust.
Analogy thing = x units
This is the item/thing that you are comparing the Holocaust to in order to put the amount of deaths into perspective.
Time span = 4,380 days
This is how long the Holocaust lasted (12 years).

7. 6 Million+ Project Step 1: Divide A by B
This will tell you how many of your thing it would take to equal the total deaths of the Holocaust.
Step 2: Divide the answer to Step 1 by C
This tells you how many things must be used/destroyed/consumed/etc. each day in order to equal the total deaths of the Holocaust.
Write equations on board for reference

8. Rocky Mountain High School
If the Holocaust caused 18,285,400 deaths and Rocky Mountain High School contains 2,300 students, then that means it would take 7,950 Rocky Mountains to match the number of victims from the Holocaust.
This means that you would need to completely destroy 1.8 Rocky Mountain High Schools every day for the next 12 years.

9. Starbucks Latte
If the Holocaust caused 18,285,400 deaths and one Starbucks latte contains 300 calories, then that means it would take 60,951 Starbucks lattes to match the number of victims from the Holocaust.
This means that you would have to drink 14 lattes a day for the next 12 years.

10. 6 Million+ Project
Create an analogy that puts how many people perished during the Holocaust into perspective.
Create a poster in the shape of your analogy (i.e. a latte cup or RHMS silhouette)
Write the details of your analogy on the poster
Comparing each death in the Holocaust to a Starbucks latte:
If the Holocaust caused 18,285,400 deaths and one Starbucks latte contains calories, then that means it would take 60,951 Starbucks lattes to match the number of victims from the Holocaust.
This means that you would have to drink 14 lattes a day for the next 12 years.
